14th ASEAN UNIVERSITY GAMES 2008 Kuala Lumpur

11 – 21 December 2008 is great date for sport events in this region, there is 14th ASEAN UNIVERSITY GAMES 2008 held in Kuala Lumpur participated by talented university athletes from all countries in ASEAN. I have been volunteer in this event which takes part in athletic division. For overall medal standing, Malaysia achieve target to be the champion with medal haul of 90 golds, 79 silvers, and 47 bronzes. Congratulation!!! Vietnam also performs very well in this event to show their competitive ability in this region by 2nd seat. This event is great in role to unite people, accelerate progressive and preserve peace spirit. I hope this event will be more influence and attractive in future. The 15th ASEAN UNIVERSITY GAMES 2010 will be held in Chiangmai in Thailand. More information about this event can refer to www.aug2008.com.my.

Story Behind the Event

In ASEAN UNIVERSITY GAMES 2008 (AUG 2008) held in Kuala Lumpur, I could say it is another way to reflect the background story of different countries. It is really touch and even give us a lot of realization to the society. ASEAN member contain 11 countries include the new – Timor Leste. Unfortunately, Myanmar did not send any athletes in this large regional sport event. In evidence, we could say Myanmar face lot of internal problems cause a bad impact on country progressive even to the sport which actually should be fenced out by politic. However, both economy and politic are dictate country destiny and populace. Now, Vietnam has been one of the great performance countries in regional sport event recently. Their reformation and opening similar to the China show they are not supposed to be ignore as one of the competitive country in the world. Many international economists have regarded it as economy-grow up and competitive country. In AUG 2008, their performance is the best after Malaysia which has advantage as host, exceed sport giant – Thailand.
A tiny country – Timor Leste, just got independence from Indonesia a few years ago. I do not know whether all of their athletes have got the same assistance. Malaysia government has given their support to the event, thanks to Malaysia!!! As I know their hockey team and athletic athletes’ accessories including shirt, shoes, beg and so on are total supported by Malaysia. Malaysia really does a good job in helping this new-born country sport development. There is athletic runner is coming from football team. His favorite is playing football, but he is the fastest player in the team and got the order to be a runner. By following to the AUG rules, he has to abandon to play football. To be a new runner, he did not have a regular training and coach. The tactic to run was taught by a few of volunteer among of us a day before the day of event and it is the only training he have for the event!! Apart from that, he got the running shoes just before the training!!! I have give a full respect to the athlete even he did not got any title in the event with his spirit and responsibility.
Through this matter, I hope Timor Leste will have a good development in their country without any civil war. Besides, ASEAN members can play an important role in helping this country in wide of ways and field especially economic. Just like what Malaysia government has done, help them!!!

New Blade to Me

Recently I have bought a new table tennis blade – Ma Lin Soft Carbon, I hope this new blade can suit to my feeling and skill of playing. Until now, I have collect to 4 blades! The blades branded Dawei that I bought last time, I still can not suit to it. I have played badly compare to my former blade – traditional penhold blade as my actual reason to change blade is to train for Chinese-style penhold playing.
Now, the challenge is to train the new skill - Chinese-style backhand. It uses double rubbers similar to the handshake style. In Malaysia, I find this kind of skill still in the beginning of progress. In comparing to China, the skill have been develop to a very aspiring and high standard. The most representative Chinese-style penhold player is Wang Hao – World’s 1st ranking. He has made the backhand as his main weapon without blocking as other penhold player always do. This kind of skill has mended the weakness of traditional penhold. May be he give a deep influence to the Malaysian penhold player, the trend to change is beginning.
Way in front still long, with the high technology of Yasaka Carbon penhold blade, in possession of the high speed and stability, I hope improving is coming to me.
